Molly Meldrum, 74, goes shopping at Coles in Melbourne

He has suffered from poor health in recent years, and was even pictured arriving in a wheelchair to the Australian Music Vault launch last month.

But Molly Meldrum was back on his feet last Thursday, when he was seen shopping at his local Coles supermarket in Richmond.

The former Countdown host, 74, swapped his signature cowboy hat for a Melbourne Storm beanie and dressed casually in a T-shirt and shorts.

Molly was spotted strolling through the supermarket aisles and pushing a trolley filled with groceries.

After paying at the checkout, a woman helped him load the bags into the back of a vehicle in the parking lot.

The music legend, who was the subject of acclaimed TV mini-series ‘Molly’ last year, has suffered from poor health in recent years.

In December 2011, Molly suffered life-threatening injuries after he fell from a ladder at his Melbourne home.

He fractured his skull, punctured his lungs and broke his ribs in the accident.

In January 2016, he slipped outside a hotel in Bangkok and dislodged a vertebrae, requiring emergency surgery.

Molly made headlines at the 2017 Logie Awards in April after interrupting Samuel Johnson’s acceptance speech.

Samuel had won the Gold Logie for his performance as the TV legend in ‘Molly’.

But his delivery was cut short when the real-life character took over the microphone for a rambling performance.

Molly later apologised, telling News Corp: ‘I got a bit caught up in the moment.’
